The Carolina Panthers' starting offense ended their day against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday with a resounding thud. Quarterback Bryce Young managed just 18 yards in the first half on five pass attempts, with the unit failing to pick up a single first down on any of their three possessions.
Fortunately, the second-string offense proved a little more lively—albeit against backups for Buffalo's defense. In his first possession of the game, backup quarterback Kenny Pickett led a 10-play, 83-yard touchdown drive to get Carolina on the scoreboard just before the break.
Along the way, Pickett completed 11-yard passes to running back Trevor Etienne and wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. The Bills helped with a 15-yard face mask penalty, as Pickett got clobbered by several defenders at once.
Pickett finished the drive with a well-placed ball to wide receiver Ja'seem Reed on a slant route.
Pickett ended the first half having completed all three of his throws for 28 yards and a 145.1 passer rating.
